4000 BTC is enough to fluctuate the market you say? I really doubt that it would have that big of an effect. Current 24-hour volume is 520,641 BTC according to Coinmarketcap. Even if you sell those 4k BTC on one exchange, I doubt we'll see much movement either way.
Kobayashi might say otherwise.... How much of that volume is fakes so that some Chinese exchanges can claim to be nr1 in the world? One 1000 BTC drop and we went down 300$ last time, I'm not that eager to see 4000 BTC dumped at once. But the feds will never sell the coins on an exchange with fluctuating prices. I would need to see proof that the majority of that volume is fake, before I could even think about agreeing with you. I'm giving you the exact volume stats from Coinmarketcap. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/#chartsNow you give me the evidence for that 300$ drop that 'happened' when someone dumped a measly 1k BTC

I have a lot of fun on Crypto-games outside of just gambling, mainly because the chat there can be very interesting sometimes. The mods are usually very very strict in chat, which causes there to be less spam than on other online casinos.
It's especially fun when you do win something, because you can share your results with other people.
Id say that the social aspect is similar to that of a real casino.

What do you mean exactly? You mean a service like Kickstarter or Gofundme, but then something that pays out in Bitcoin? This is a crowdfunding website for charity: https://bithope.org/Bitbay is another one: https://bitbay.net/en/crowdfundingBitspot.me is also for personal fundraisers: https://www.bitspot.me/There are many more, but you can find them yourself with Google. Search for 'crypto crowdfunding' or something similar.

And I still see people complaining about having to pay too much fees. You can check the Bitcoin Technical Support board to see some examples. Probably people who are using a wallet that incorrectly calculates the best fees or exchanges that are charging additional transaction fees.

Are you only displaying information about the number of retweets on the Trends page? Would it be possible to also incorporate other social media networks there?
The same should be possible with Steemit and Facebook perhaps?

I'm doing my best to report at least a few posts whenever I'm browsing through the forum. I have to admit that I usually focus on clear-cut cases of spam and low quality posts. Success rate is pretty good though, but I haven't reported that much in total. You have reported 283 posts with 99% accuracy (267 good, 5 bad, 11 unhandled).

It has been a very long time since I've hit any jackpot over 1 BTC, though I've hit them pretty regularly back in 2013. Most I've currently won is around 0.05 BTC at one play-session. Maybe I'm just betting way less than before

That was to be expected honestly, they were probably losing a lot of revenue from legitimate crypto-related services. The fact that they're still banning ICO's and binary options is understandable, just too much scam going on there to sift through everything.
Let's hope Google will follow suit soon, or they're going to lose a lot of revenue to Facebook advertising.

My partner was a gambling addict for many years, and I put up with it as much as I could for many years. We had talks about it. We had fights about it. Sometimes we went for weeks without speaking to each other. Many times after promising to quit, she'd quietly go back there and lose more money. The children would stay up until late into the night waiting for their mother to come home. Where's mommy? They'd wake up tired for school the next day. One night after she came home, something inside me snapped. I had enough!! I told her to get the F out of my house and to take all her crap with her. I told her that I'm going to divorce her and take the house and the kids. I told her that I have copies of all her bank statements showing how much money she's been squandering at casinos and that no judge in his right mind would give a gambling addict custody of the children, besides she was always broke. I was seeing red and I was fully prepared for the ugliest divorce and custody fight ever. Do you know what happened after that night? She quit gambling. It's been 6 months or so since that night, and I have to say thanks be to God for answering my prayers and bringing this whole ugly problem to an end. I've never been that angry with her before, and I guess that is what she needed to see before she quit. I showed her the brick wall that she was heading for and she slammed on the brakes.
That is a pretty amazing story, I mean the part where you mentioned that she eventually quite after that one night. 6 months of no gambling is pretty long for an addict, I hope she doesn't re-lapse. What would you do if she does? Also be very careful that she doesn't do it behind your back. I've read stories of gambling addicts taking out credit cards in their spouse's name.

I'm kinda sad about it actually. I know it's just a name, but I've visited that website for years now. Haven't used their wallet in ages, but do check it to see when a block gets confirmed if I'm waiting for a transaction to clear.
Always used the .info never the .com

I'm wondering what his definition of crypto crime is? He's mentioning ICO scams in his article, but whether those scams are actually illegal is a different question. This article also doesn't mean much when there are no numbers involved.
How does crypto crime compare against credit card fraud? Which jurisdiction is he talking about? Laws are very different around the world. Some ICOs might be illegal in the US, while being legal in some other country.
This article is just too short and they're too vague. I've also never even heard of this website, so it just doesn't seem too trustworthy, for me at least.

I'm a big fan of this concept, seems like a very handy and fun way to track your profit and share it with the community. Might write an article promoting your website on Steemit.
Give an update when your website is a little bit more complete, I'm sure you can tinker a bit on the profile pages etc. Everything's still kinda empty.

People buy lottery ticket all the time, that’s total fine, spending $5 here and there for fun. But if you mortgage your house to buy lottery tickets you are crazy.
Same thing with bitcoin. Spend a few grand for chuckle is fine, chances are you won’t see your money again. Heck I would pick up a few bitcoins too when it drops below $100.
If you spent your life savings buy Bitcoin, get out now while you still have something left! New crypto currencies are coming to replace BTC. Stop torment yourself everyday watching your money goes into red day after day after weeks after months.... you will spend your retirement working at McDonald’s trying to earn it back!
Who are those acting foolishness that will spend life saving to buy bitcoin?dont they know the motto of cryptonians?"Invest What You Can Afford to Lose" If you dont know this and you made that foolish decision that's Craziness and Noob actions,neverbe that investor because it can kill lives You see stories of people selling their house just to buy Bitcoin, just like this guy from The Netherlands: http://uk.businessinsider.com/didi-taihuttu-sold-everything-for-bitcoin-fans-2017-12?r=US&IR=THe's living with his family on a campsite, waiting for the next crypto boom. I personally think he's stupid and the fact that he's done this while he has children is pretty appalling. What if there's a sudden medical emergency, causing him to have to pay thousands of euros? Even with a decent healthcare system, that's still possible.

I don't know who is crazy enough to pay to remove a pixel just to see something that can be found all over the net for free It's for perverts Even if it's too see someone famous if she/he agree to show her/his ass I guess it's already shown somewhere on the www The idea is good to re-introduce micro payments with BTC
I also completely disagree, I know for sure that people would be willing to pay for something like that. It's the personal aspect of it and the uniqueness of those particular photo's. You would need some sort of verification system to ensure that your models are who they say they are. So people won't just get free images from somewhere and pretend to be that person. Yes, there is definitely a market for personalized porn. One model can make a lot of money from 1 single photo, if it tick the box for a lot of surfers. The owner of the site can verify the authenticity of the posters contributions by asking for a specific pose and a note that says something that the owner asked in advance for verification. The owner will obviously only have to do this as part of the registration process, when models sign up for this service. One photo can generate continues revenue as new surfers uncover photos for the first time. The VIP membership will grant surfers access to all photos that were uncovered before by other users. I don't think that you should let photo's be uncovered more than once. I'd turn it into a crowdfunded effort to uncover photo's by many people who pay a small amount each. That way people wont just screebgrab the picture afterwards and share it, giving your service a bad name. You could let the model set the price of the photo, say they want $50 in total, you just divide it into 50 'pixels' and multiple people can bid on removing them. Kinda the same as tipping towards a big goal with live cams.

b) what is the point of decentralised money, if its so volatile, that rate would drop 75% in 6 months (or grows by the same)? this is called a hyperinflation.
Is it really hyperinflation in Bitcoin's case? I've read that Bitcoin is used to protect against hyperinflation, even now people are buying it in Venezuela because of that reason. From wikipedia: In economics, hyperinflation is very high and typically accelerating inflation. It quickly erodes the real value of the currency, as the prices of most or all goods increase. This causes people to minimize their holdings in that currency as they usually switch to more stable foreign currencies.[1] Prices typically remain stable in terms of other currencies.
Unlike low inflation, where the process of rising prices is protracted and not generally noticeable except by studying past market prices, hyperinflation sees a rapid and continuing increase in nominal prices, the nominal cost of goods, and in the supply of money.[2] Typically, however, the general price level rises even more rapidly than the money supply as people try ridding themselves of the devaluing currency as quickly as possible. As this happens, the real stock of money (i.e., the amount of circulating money divided by the price level) decreases considerably.[3] Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperinflationSeems to me that you can't really describe the price drops of Bitcoin as hyperinflation. That term is reserved for national currencies. I'm not an economist though, I'm sure someone else could explain it better. Just adding some counter arguments.

I think I've suggested this before, but would it be possible to add a progressive jackpot to games other than Dice? It's impossible for me to even play for the dice jackpot, since it needs to be a winning bet and the range my winning numbers are in exclude me from winning it.
Just would be nice if there were other games with a progressive jackpot, something like hitting 3 zeros in a row on roulette. Or a hard to hit combination on slots (other than 5 Bitcoin symbols)

Where did you find this? I couldn't find the source through Google... It really is quite interesting and I agree with the author that we will need basic income eventually. There are already quite a few crypto projects working on that. Check out my thread, which lists all of them: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3242065.0 (Overview of Universal Basic Income Crypto Projects [23 Projects Listed]) I am wondering if it wouldn't make people too complacent though, people will always need a goal to work towards.
